Hi aces99,
If what you d/loaded is the "W2K Pro: Disk1 | Disk2 | Disk3 | Disk4" set from here, those are image files to create a boot CD. D/load either makeboot.exe (if you're going to be creating the bootdisks on a 2K system) or makeboot32.exe (if you're going to be creating the bootdisks on a WIN9x system). D/load the file to hard drive, put the first formatted floppy disk in the drive and then double-click on the d/loaded file to start creating the setup disk set.
